AKROCHLOR

CHLORINATED PARAFFINS



APPLICATION/DESCRIPTION:

Akrochlor chlorinated paraffins are a low cost source of halogen for flame retardant purposes (usually
in concert with Sb
2
O
3
) and are compatible with most polymers (use resin product in EPDM for
maximum compatibility). Grade selection is usually based on the best combination of chlorine
content, viscosity, volatility and cost for the end-use product. Akrochlor chlorinated paraffins are
available in a variety of grades, in both liquid (L-Grades) and resin (R-Grades) form. Akrochlor resin
grades offer the highest chlorine content, but liquids are often used for the combination effect of
plasticizer and flame retardant. Akrochlor R-70S has slightly better heat stability than the standard R-
70 Grade. Chlorinated hydrocarbons are also very resistant to microbial and fungi attack.
